When All Your Mercies, O My God
Author: Joseph Addison, 1672-1719 Hymnal: LBoW1978 #264 (1978) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Person Name: Joseph Addison, 1672-1719 Lyrics: 1 When all your mercies, O my God,
My waking soul surveys,
Transported with the view, I'm lost
In wonder, love, and praise.
2 Ten thousand thousand precious gifts
My daily thanks employ;
Nor is the least a cheerful heart
That tastes those gifts with joy.
3 Through ev'ry passing phase of life
Your goodness I'll pursue,
And after death, in distant worlds,
The glorious theme renew.
4 Through all eternity, to you
A joyful song I'll raise;
But, oh, eternity's too short
To utter all your praise! Topics: Morning; Mercy; Morning; Praise, Adoration; Day of Thanksgiving Languages: English Tune Title: WINCHESTER OLD

Lord of Glory, You Have Bought Us
Author: Eliza S. Alderson, 1818-1889 Hymnal: LBoW1978 #424 (1978) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Person Name: Eliza S. Alderson, 1818-1889 Lyrics: 1 Lord of glory, you have bought us
With your life-blood as the price,
Never grudging for the lost ones
That tremendous sacrifice;
And with that have freely given
Blessings countless as the sand
To the unthankful and the evil
With your own unsparing hand.
2 Grant us hearts, dear Lord, to give you
Gladly, freely, of your own.
With the sunshine of your goodness
Melt our thankless hearts of stone
Till our cold and selfish natures,
Warmed by you, at length believe
That more happy and more blessed
'Tis to give than to receive.
3 Wondrous honor you have given
To our humblest charity
In your own mysterious sentence,
"You have done it all to me."
Can it be, O gracious Master,
That you deign for alms to sue,
Saying by your poor and needy,
"Give as I have giv'n to you"?
4 Yes, the sorrow and the suff'rings
Which on ev'ry hand we view
Channels are for gifts and off'rings
Due by solemn right to you;
Right of which we may not rob you,
Debt we may not choose but pay,
Lest that face of love and pity
Turn from us another day.
4 Lord of glory, you have bought us
With Your life-blood as the price,
Never grudging for the lost ones
That tremendous sacrifice.
Give us faith to trust you boldly,
Hope, to stay our souls on you:
But, oh, best of all your graces,
With your love our love renew. Topics: Society; Lent 4 (Year A); Justification; Society Languages: English Tune Title: HYFRYDOL

Outside a city wall,
Where the dear Lord was crucified,
Who died to save us all.
2 We may not know, we cannot tell,
What pains he had to bear,
But we believe it was for us
He hung and suffered there.
3 He died that we might be forgiv'n;
He died to make us good,
That we might go at last to heav'n,
Saved by his precious blood.

By the Galilean lake,
Turned from home and toil and kindred,
Leaving all for his dear sake.
3 Jesus calls us from the worship
Of the vain world's golden store,
From each idol that would keep us,
Saying "Christian, love me more."
4 In our joys and in our sorrows,
Days of toil and hours of ease,
Still he calls, in cares and pleasures,
"Christian, love me more than these."
5 Jesus calls us! In your mercy,
Savior, make us hear your call,
Give our hearts to your obedience,
Serve and love you best of all. Topics: Epiphany 2; Commitment; Invitation; Saints' Days St. andrew, Apostle; Trust, Guidance Languages: English Tune Title: GALILEE

Raise the song of harvest home.

Fruit unto his praise to yield.
Wheat and tares together sown,
Unto joy or sorrow grown.
First the blade, and then the ear,
Then the full corn shall appear.
Lord of harvest, grant that we
Wholesome grain and pure may be.
3 For the Lord our God shall come
And shall take his harvest home.
From his field shall in that day
All offenses purge away,
Give his angels charge at last
In the fire the tares to cast,
But the fruitful ears to store
In his garner evermore.
4 Even so, Lord, quickly come
To your final harvest home.
Gather all your people in,
Free from sorrow, free from sin,
There, forever purified,
In your garner to abide.
Come, with all your angels, come,
Raise the glorious harvest home! Topics: Stewardship; Harvest; Stewardship Languages: English Tune Title: ST. GEORGE'S, WINDSOR

By your gift of peace restored,
By your call to heav'n above us,
Hallow all our lives, O Lord.

Seated at our Father's board,
May the Church still waiting for you
Keep love’s tie unbroken, Lord.

In our hearts keep watch and ward,
In the world to which you send us
Let your kingdom come, O Lord. Topics: Holy Communion; Holy Communion Languages: English Tune Title: OMNI DIE

With milk and honey blest,
Beneath your contemplation
Sink heart and voice oppressed.
I know not, oh, I know not,
What social joys are there,
What radiancy of glory,
What bliss beyond compare.
2 They stand, those halls of Zion,
Conjubilant with song
And bright with many an angel
And all the martyr throng.
The prince is ever in them;
The daylight is serene;
The pastures of the blessed
Are decked in glorious sheen.
3 There is the throne of David,
And there, from care released,
The shout of those who triumph,
The song of those who feast.
And they, who with their leader
Have conquered in the fight,
Forever and forever
Are clad in robes of white.
4 Oh, sweet and blessed country,
The home of God's elect!
Oh, sweet and blessed country,
That eager hearts expect!
In mercy, Jesus, bring us
To that dear land of rest!
You are, with God the Father
And Spirit, ever blest.

All who cleave to Christ the head!
Wake, awake, O mighty nation,
Lest the foe on Zion tread;
He draws nigh, and would defy
All the hosts of God Most High.
2 Saints and martyrs long before us
Firmly on this ground have stood;
See their banner waving o’er us,
Conqu'rors through the Savior’s blood.
Ground we hold, whereon of old
Fought the faithful and the bold.
3 Fighting, we shall be victorious
By the blood of Christ our Lord;
On our foreheads, bright and glorious,
Shines the witness of his Word;
Spear and shield on battlefield,
His great name; we cannot yield.
4 When his servants stand before him,
Each receiving his reward;
When his saints in light adore him,
Giving glory to the Lord;
"Victory!" our song shall be,
Like the thunder of the sea. Topics: Lesser Festivals; Pentecost 27 (Year A); Church Triumphant; Christian Hope; Lesser Festivals; Saints' Days Languages: English Tune Title: UNSER HERRSCHER

May win me entrance to thy heav'n above,
Nor yet that strangers to thy love must know
The bitterness of everlasting woe.
2 But, Jesus, thou art mine, and I am thine;
Clasped to thy bosom by thine arms divine,
Who on the cruel Cross for me hast borne
The nails, the spear, and man’s unpitying scorn.
3 No thought can fathom and no tongue express
Thy griefs, thy toils, thy anguish measureless,
Thy death, O Lamb of God, the undefiled;
And all for me, thy wayward, sinful child.
4 How can I choose but love thee, God’s dear Son,
O Jesus, loveliest and most loving one!
Were there no heav'n to gain, no hell to flee,
For what thou art alone I must love thee.
5 Not for the hope of glory or reward,
But even as thyself hast loved me, Lord,
I love Thee, and will love thee and adore,
Who art my King, my God, forevermore. Topics: Commitment; Justification; Lent; Love; Saints' Days The Confession of St. Peter Languages: English Tune Title: IN MANUS TUAS

Lord of creation, merciful and mighty:

Rise in your presence.

This is none other than the gate of heaven.
Ever your children, year by year rejoicing,
Chant in your temple.

Here may your servants, at the mystic banquet
Daily adoring, take your body broken,
Drink of your chalice.
4 Here for your children stands the holy laver,
Fountain of pardon for the guilt of nature;
Cleansed by whose water, springs a race anointed,
Faithful to Jesus.
5 Hear us, O Father, as we throng your temple.
By your past blessings, by your present bounty,
Smile on your children, and in grace and mercy
Hear our petition.

Son co-eternal, ever-blessed Spirit:
To you be praises, thanks, and adoration,
Glory forever. Topics: Community in Christ; Church Building; Close of Service; Community in Christ; Holy Communion; Worship Languages: English Tune Title: ISTE CONFESSOR

The Son of God, Our Christ
Author: Edward M. Blumenfeld, b. 1927 Hymnal: LBoW1978 #434 (1978) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Person Name: Edward M. Blumenfeld, b. 1927 First Line: The Son of God, our Christ, the Word, the Way Lyrics: 1 The Son of God, our Christ, the Word, the Way,
Shared human life and toiled throughout the day;
From common folk he called the twelve to be
Co-workers in his sacred ministry.
2 In ev'ry test, in trials manifold,
These servants witnessed, by their faith made bold;
And with the gifts and talents which they brought
The Church was founded and God's message taught.
3 Today, as then, Christ summons us to dare
To follow boldly and his work to share,
To help and heal the sick, the blind, the lame,
Declaring to the world his holy name.
4 In city street, in town, or on the soil,
May each serve Christ in faithful daily toil,
And in each thought and kindly word and deed,
Obey Christ's call and go where he shall lead.
5 Where'er we find our witness should be made,
Whate'er our task, be thou, O Christ, our aid,
That we may gladly give for thee our best
And find each task divinely sent and blest. Topics: Society; Pentecost 8 (Year B); Society; Witness Languages: English Tune Title: SURSUM CORDA

To serve you to the end;
Remain forever near me,
My master and my friend.
I shall not fear the battle
If you are by my side,
Nor wander from the pathway
If you will be my guide.
2 Oh, let me feel you near me;
The world is ever near.
I see the sights that dazzle,
The tempting sounds I hear.
My foes are ever near me,
Around me and within;
But, Jesus, then draw nearer
To shield my soul from sin.
3 Oh, let me hear you speaking
In accents clear and still
Above the storms of passion,
The murmurs of self-will.
Now speak to reassure me,
To hasten or control;
Now speak and make me listen,
O Guardian of my soul.
4 O Jesus, you have promised
To all who follow you
That where you are in glory
Your servant shall be too.
And Jesus, I have promised
To serve you to the end;
Oh, give me grace to follow,
My master and my friend. Topics: Pentecost 19 (Year B); Pentecost 20 (Year C); Commitment; Christian Life; Temptation Languages: English Tune Title: MUNICH

Here would I touch and handle things unseen;
Here grasp with firmer hand the eternal grace,
And all my weariness upon thee lean.
2 Here would I feed upon the bread of God,
Here drink with thee the royal wine of heav'n;
Here would I lay aside each earthly load,
Here taste afresh the calm of sin forgiv'n.
3 This is the hour of banquet and of song;
This is the heav'nly table spread for me;
Here let me feast and, feasting, still prolong
The brief bright hour of fellowship with thee.
4 I have no help but thine; nor do I need
Another arm save thine to lean upon;
It is enough, O Lord, enough indeed;
My strength is in thy might, thy might alone.
5 Mine is the sin, but thine the righteousness;
Mine is the guilt, but thine the cleansing blood;
Here is my robe, my refuge, and my peace:
Thy blood, thy righteousness, O Lord, my God.
6 Too soon we rise; the vessels disappear;
The feast, though not the love, is past and gone.
The bread and wine remove, but thou art here,
Nearer than ever, still my shield and sun.
7 Feast after feast thus comes and passes by;
Yet, passing, points to that glad feast above,
Giving sweet foretaste of the festal joy,
The Lamb's great marriage feast of bliss and love.
